14th May 2012 in Gdansk the press conference preceding the 22nd European Armwrestling Championships. ()
We’ve already known that these championships will be record-breaking in terms of the number of participants – as announces the organizer Igor Mazurenko – in terms of conduction and setting. Each organizer must know, that 70 people have been working during the event in Gdansk. We’re now setting standards, which each next country organizing Euro Arm will have to measure themselves against
The main Heroines of the conference were Women. Two players from Russia and two from Poland. The journalist could become convinced that Armwrestlers are the girls – first of all well educated, secondly, beautiful and additionally – unfortunately – in love with this beautiful sport. Luckily for gathered men, the strength test did not take place.
The captain of the Polish team - Mariusz Grochowski said that for the Poles the fighting in front of our own audience is something really special.
According to Mariusz every Polish player will be in a top shape and will go all out.
The captain of the Polish team did not wanted to say precisely – what result and “number of medals” he would regard as the success. whereas the President of the FAP Igor Mazurenko said, that he hopes the half of our team to reach the podium. He’s probably a bit too optimistic – in my opinion, but…let’s hope I’m wrong!
An Olympic champion and a member of the Polish Parliament – Leszek Blanik appeared at the conference. It’s not a coincidence! Leszek Blanik remarkably helps sports initiatives in his area, and our discipline is really close to him. At the end a show fight took place at the table. The Olympic champion in gymnastics versus Igor Mazurenko. Tomorrow, on Tuesday, the referees’ conference takes place. And on Wednesday the fights starts. We cheer, and bet on! It’ll be going on!
